ATTEE-P- |N\/5NTIJF% mAL W M NITED STATES CURTAI N-POLE SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,831, dated June 3, 1884.

Application filed April 9, 1884. (N 0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN MOORE, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Poles, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide a curtain-pole which shall be readily adjustable in length, so as to be adapted for use on windows of different width; and the invention consists in the novel construction of an extensible pole and means for sustaining the same, as hereinafter more fully described,and specifically set forth in the claims.

. The invention is fully illustrated in the annexed drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a rear view of the extensible curtain-pole connected with an extensible window-cornice. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one end of the aforesaid pole and its connection with its support. Fig.

3 is a perspective view of the aforesaid parts detached, and Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the pole.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

in Fig.4 of

B represents an extensible window-cornice similar to that for which I have obtained Letters Patent No. 240,837, May 3, 1881.

C denotes the extensible curtain-pole, partioularly adapted for use in connection with the aforesaid cornice. Said pole is composed of longitudinallydivided sections a a, sliding endwise on each other, and held together by interlocking tongue and groove b c, as shown the drawings.

D represents the end support for the extensible pole. Said support consists of abracket adapted to be secured to the inner side of the end board of the cornice B, or to the jamb of the window, and formed with a horizontal projection, d, from which rise two projections, e 0, adapted to receive between them from the when thus entered, rests on the bottom projection, (1. One or both of the vertical projections c are provided with a flange, r,which engages a transverse groove, n, in the end portion of the pole-section, and thereby serves to retain the same in such a manner as to cause the pole O to be distended simultaneously with the extension of the bracket B.

It will be observed that by the described construction and combination of parts I am enabled to furnish to the trade an extensible window-cornice adapted to be applied to windows of different width,and provided with an extensible curtain-pole which adjusts itself automatically with the adjustment of the aforesaid cornice.

. Having described myinvention, what I claim as new is 1. In combination with an extensible curtain-pole, supporting-brackets provided with a grip adapted to engage the side of one end of the pole-section, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the pole-sections a a, each provided at its outer end with the transverse groove 7L, and the brackets D, provided with the flange r, adapted to engage the groovea, substantially as described and shown, for the purpose set forth. r

3. The combination of an extensible window-cornice andextensible curtain-pole connected therewith,and adapted to adjust itself automatically with the adjustment of the said cornice, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and affixed my seal, in the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this 7th day of April, 1884.
